Update problems of Rcmdr?
4 messages · Kenneth Cabrera, John Fox
Dear Kenneth, After just running update.packages() myself, I can't duplicate this error (using R 2.2.1 under Win XP). Can you provide a little more information? Are any but the standard packages loaded when you issue the library(Rcmdr) command? Have you made any modifications to a startup file, such as Rprofile.site? I'm sorry that I can't offer any additional suggestions at this point.

Hi R users: I am not sure how do I fix it. But I erase an old R library installation (2.2.0), and also I erase all "filexxxx" directories on the R.2.2.1 library directory, and then I try library(Rcmdr) again and it works!. Any way, how could I trace or debug, so I get a hint whats going on with a similar problem in the future? Thank you very much for your help. Kenneth

Dear Kenneth, It's very difficult for me to tell from the information that you've given what the problem might have been. I'm glad, however, that things are working now. One thought: Do you have the R_LIBS environment variable set? If so, it's possible that you were picking up an old version of a package. Perhaps someone else will come up with a better explanation.
